The tool
Change Decision Evidence
A read-only app for Jira Service Management (JSM) change requests. It shows whether important details changed after approval.
What it does
Finds changes made after approval.
A change request is a Jira item used to plan and approve work such as a software release, infrastructure update, or service change. Change Decision Evidence uses the latest completed approval it can clearly connect to the request's history. It then checks the details you chose. A later edit is reported even if the detail was changed back. If Jira's history is incomplete or unclear, the result is Cannot determine.

Sample result · Made-up example
Request title changed after approval
Changed after approval
Approval used: the latest completed approval that could be clearly connected to the request's status history.
| Detail | At approval · 2:14 PM | Later edit · 2:42 PM | Current · 3:06 PM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Request title (Summary) | Approved wordingUpgrade VPN gateway software | Changed wordingReplace VPN gateway and migrate users | Current wordingReplace VPN gateway and migrate users |
The later edit is still reported if the field is changed back. A later clear final approval resets the comparison point.
Why not just use Jira's Activity history?
Jira shows the events. This tool checks the details you chose.
Change Decision Evidence
Compares details at approval and after
Finds the latest completed approval it can clearly connect to the request history, then checks the details you chose for later changes.
A later clear final approval becomes the new comparison point.
Clear results
One review. One of three answers.
No later change found
No chosen detail was found to have changed after the approval used for the review.
Changed later
At least one chosen detail changed after approval, even if it changed back later.
Cannot determine
The needed Jira history is missing, unavailable, still changing, or too unclear to support a safe answer.
